The Aeroflot Open is an annual open chess tournament organised by the joint efforts of the Chess Federation of Russia and the Russian Ministry of Sport with the sponsorship from the Russian flag carrier Aeroflot. It is played in Moscow, holding both the international open tournament and the Russian Youth Cup "Aeroflot Open - Children".
Aeroflot Open was established in 2002 as Swiss system tournament with nine rounds, and the winner is invited to the Dortmund chess tournament held later in the same year, a tradition begun in 2003. In 2013, it was converted to a rapid and blitz event. The first event had around 80 grandmasters, while in the second event 150 grandmasters participated. Beside the main tournament (A Group), there are also B and C-class tournaments.
